Just read an article on the BBC – written by Juventus fan Mina Rzouki – which ponders on the current crisis in which Juventus finds itself, saying “not even the most catastrophizing among us would have imagined we would be back here, deciphering why and how they have found themselves embroiled, yet again, in another scandal that could threaten their sporting future.”
Is it just me or this absolute b*llocks? I remember when they swapped Artur for Miralem Pjanic a few years back and tried to say Barcelona had paid them £70m. There was loads of people – in fact it may have even been a thread on here or the old board – saying this felt like cheating, or ‘circumnavigating’ the rules. Taking the p*ss, basically. That Juventus are currently embroiled in YET ANOTHER scandal is of no surprise whatsoever, surely.
Look at the money and wages they spent/spend on Ronaldo, Higuain, Di Maria, Pogba, Vlahovic, Ramsey. It was always unsustainable. This is why Agnelli was so hell bent on the European Super League. James Horncastle was another one who seemed to be complaining about Juventus’ punishment, saying last Friday night it was a ‘disastrous night for Serie A’ and wondering why others aren’t being investigated. Well maybe they are, hopefully they are.
These investigations need to dig into exactly what these clubs are up to. We all know who they are.
I just find it amazing that this array of football ‘journalists’ and writers and commentators didn’t see this coming from a mile off. It’s been in the offing for years. It’s too easy to sit there and talk about or write about Juventus pumping Spezia or Salernitana 5-0 instead of doing actual journalism.
Last Friday was an EXCELLENT night for those clubs that play by the rules and do not try to fiddle the books. The Juventus directors are on tape admitting all of this FFS. I’m absolutely loving the fact they’ve been caught and punished. F*ck them.
This article just felt like client journalism, trying to excuse what Juventus have been up to. It’s part of the problem IMO, not part of the solution.
Poor Juventus
